*Revolutionary Communist Organisation for Liberation (RKOB):**
The Intervention of the imperialist powers in Libya, the struggle of the
masses against Gaddafi's dictatorship and the tactics of revolutionary
communists*
/
/In the context of the present uprising in Tripoli I would like to draw
reader's attention to a chapter on Libya of a recently published book on
the Arab Revolution.
http://www.rkob.net/new-english-language-site-1/war-in-libya-and-the-tactics-of-revolutionary-communists/
Here is the brief intro to the text:
This text is the English-language translation of an excerpt from a book
on the Arab Revolution published by the Revolutionary Communist
Organisation for Liberation (RKOB) in early August 2011. The Book --
Michael Pröbsting: The Half Revolution. Lessons and Perspectives of the
Arab Uprising -- is in German language and contains eight chapters. It
discusses the background of the Arab Revolution and its most important
lessons. It outlines a program with the central demands and transitional
slogans to continue the revolution up to the seizure of the power by the
working class. In addition it relates the present-day challenges of the
Arab Revolution to central theoretical and programmatic disputes in the
history of the workers movement (like the law of the uneven and combined
development, the strategy of permanent revolution versus socialism in
one country, questions of revolutionary strategy etc.).
The RKOB has published this book because we consider the Arab Revolution
as a historic event. As we write in the preface of the book we consider
this uprising "as the first revolutionary wave in the new world historic
period. (...) The Arab Revolution therefore constitutes an important
touchstone for Marxism today."
Here we publish chapter VII on Libya. We hope to translate more of the
book in the near future. We welcome contributions and critique --
particularly of those who have an active interest in fighting for a
Marxist perspective for the Arab Revolution and for building a
revolutionary communist international organization.
This translation would not have been possible without the hard work of
our US-American comrade Adam Beltz. He not only read the draft of the
book and made numerous critical comments for its improvement but also
took the hard work of translating this chapter into English.
The website of the RKOB is www.rkob.net <http://www.rkob.net>. While
most of the articles on it are in German at the moment the website has a
translation machine. We can be contacted at ak...@rkob.net

our website or under the e-mail address ak...@rkob.net
